Emma, welcome to ubuntu quality!
First things first, for more up to the minute details on what's going on,
check us out on our social media channels.

I'm thrilled to see you already have a testing background and

First things first, are you running a development version of ubuntu? If
not, install one via a vm or on real hardware. It will let you contribute
tests and results easily.

You can check out more information about contributing testcases on this
wiki page. There are walkthroughs and video guides for contributing both
manual and automated testcases. We welcome your contributions to both!

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/ContributingTestcases

On the test results side, we have a couple trackers we utilize. One is for
images, called the iso tracker, and the other covers applications, called
the packages tracker. You can submit results to these trackers at any time.
Both feature a daily milestone with tests and packages or images to test.
In addition, every 2 weeks roughly during the cycle we as a team make it a
point to submit test results to these trackers (we call this cadence
testing). Obviously not everyone can test everyday, so we encourage you to
participate during these weeks. You can learn more about contributing an
iso or packages test result here:

Welcome to the team, and don't hesitate to ask questions. I look forward to
see some merge proposals from you!
